He…read morewas an officer in the American Revolutionary War and the first president of the State Bank of North Carolina. He was a first cousin once removed of President James K. Polk (1795-1849, 11th POTUS). The courthouse was completed in 1859 and is a Greek Revival Design with a three-bay portico framed by square pillars. It stands at the center of the town of Columbus, surrounded by four corners designated for churches, two of which are still standing today. It remains actively in use today, making it one of only 14 antebellum courthouses still serving their original function in North Carolina. I stopped by on a Friday evening, so there was plenty of parking. I was able to stick my nose against the windows and peek inside. There is a large entry hall with center hall running to the rear of the building. On the north and south sides of the front door are marching spiral stairs. The building houses the County Superior Court and County District Court of the 29th Judicial District. On the courthouse grounds is an empty concrete pedestal. Was there a Civil War memorial there? I don't know. [Review 656 of 2025 - 4143 in North Carolina - 24217 overall]

Quaint town. Expensive boutique shops. Very faith based community…read more It has a very Main Street USA feel to it. In my opinion, not a lot of great restaurants, so they need to work on that. However McFarlane's bakery is amazing! Asheville is not far, so you can always enjoy the Biltmore and the other attractions in that area. There are better restaurants in that area, but they are usually more crowded and can be expensive also.

The first thing you will notice downtown is the bears. They are all over the place and each is so unique. The bears are auctioned off each fall to provide money to charities. It is an easy downtown to walk around with plenty of crosswalks and benches to rest and watch your surroundings. Downtown has numerous restaurants; shops; museums; art galleries to keep you busy. Festivals appear to be held throughout the year as well. An antique show was occurring while I was downtown. I liked the setup that Main Street was closed but the side streets were still open to traffic.

It's nice to see the community has invested in preserving this important piece of history and it's definitely a tribute to the community of volunteers that donate their time and knowledge to share such an important cause...

The bridge and the area around it is part of a passive park owned by Greenville County. It was built in 1909 by Charles Irwin Willis (1878-1966) and is a four-span Howe truss, featuring diagonal timbers and vertical iron rods. It is named for Alexander Lafayette Campbell (1836-1920) who owned and operated a grist mill here. The foundations of the mill and home site are still here to be explored. Ample parking and several picnic tables in the shade make this into a great stop for lunch. When the water isn't running to quickly, there's nothing wrong with dipping your feet into the creek to cool off. There are several signs about so that you can learn about the area.
